''Square Pegs'' is a [[High School]] [[Sit ComSitcom]] on [[CBS]] from 1982 about a pair of "unpopular" teen girls, Patty and Lauren, struggling to fit in with the "popular" kids at school. Joining them in the struggle are two teen boys, Marshall (who hopes to become the [[Class Clown]]) and Johnny Slash (who happens to be [[The Ace|talented at a lot of things]] but is too much of a [[Cloudcuckoolander]] to appreciate it).
 
Despite its [[Too Good to Last|very short]] [[Screwed Byby the Network|runtime]], the show retains a cult following to this day. For everyone else, it's most well known for [[Retroactive Recognition|unleashing]] [[Sarah Jessica Parker]] on an unsuspecting populace.
